I took the course under the old syllabus. The highlight of the course for me was taking my message outlines to my mentor and taking my messages to my church. I therefore have a very mixed view of taking both outlines and messages back to professor and fellow students for comments instead of delivering messages to the church. I value the comments of the people of my church where I minister more than I value the comments of my fellow students, because my calling is not to preach to my fellow students.

Hi Chris – Thanks for sharing your comments. Under the new syllabus, students still preach/teach in a local ministry context and get feedback from evaluators. I agree that feedback from evaluators within a student’s local ministry setting is the most valuable. We also hope feedback from the professor and fellow students also adds learning value to students. -Sam
